A new study, led by Jesmond Dalli, professor of molecular pharmacology at Queen Mary University of London, has found that people with a genetic mutation that leads to a reduction in a protein called LGR6, found on the surface of immune cells, have a decreased ability to clear viral infections.
Research finds genetic variation that could lead to increased risk of viral infections retrieved 9 May 2024 from https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-05-genetic-variation-viral-infections.html
